For nearly two millennia, the holy men and women of Eastern Christianity
have built lives of reflection, humility, and constant connection to
God around a simple sentence, the Jesus Prayer.
Now you can use the
Jesus Prayer to deepen your own practices and spiritual beliefs.Dr. Norris J. Chumley—a documentarian and professor—reveals the history,
practices, and abiding wisdom of this mystical tradition to the rest of
the world. Chumley traveled to some of the early Church’s holiest
sites with the Very Reverend Dr. John A. McGuckin, a priest and
professor—to St. Anthony’s Monastery in the Egyptian desert and St.
Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai, to convents in Transylvania and to
monasteries in Russia, the Ukraine, and Greece—in search of
Christianity’s first mystical tradition and its modern-day
practitioners.
